Ardentbiscuit

12-25-2009, 02:19 PM

They will probably have the VIP area open as a second stage. It's the size of most clubs anyway with it's own bar, dance floor, booths, chairs and they usually have a DJ spinning there anyway at least when I've been in there.

Holy fuck, so there. GV owns Club Nokia so there may still be hope for Fake Blood and Jack Beats at Coachella.

It's pretty big, like I said there is a seating area, dance floor, bar, area for DJ, cabanas, etc.

It would be a nightmare to use it, the only ways in and out are a hallway and door on the second level or the elevator.

And I would hope nobody jumps from the balcony, that would be quite painful from that height onto the shiny hardwood floor.

I would think the only way to make it work would be to make the balcony open seating, allow free access between the floor and balcony, and eliminate the wrist band for the pit area.

They could use that VIP room if they keep that door open but man the congestion in the hallway and the mess of using the elevator.

I suppose they could make every use the stairs but those stairs are pretty treacherous for people after they've gotten their party on.

Honestly, Club Nokia is a pretty bad idea the more I think about it for this event.

El.C.Dub

12-26-2009, 12:21 AM

Nokia is definitely not suitable for a HARD event. The two shows that I've been to there have been packed. It is going to be a clusterfuck unless they think of something. The only reasonable thing would be to sell seats in the balcony and separate general admission tickets for the dance floor, with floor access limited only to floor ticket holders. That's no fun though. Why isn't it at the Shrine or Palladium? Why does Gary try new shit when the old shit wasn't broken to begin with?

ELECtROjan

12-26-2009, 12:48 AM

the Shrine isnt a great venue for a single stage show. Its also old, doesnt have bathrooms, and the Shriners make it incredible expensive for no reason. As for the Palladium Im guessing they dont think they can sell the extra 1400 tickets

El.C.Dub

12-26-2009, 12:50 AM

Is it true the headliner has yet to be announced? Who might it be?

Im not worried about myself im just thinking bout all those rowdy ravers that wont get a chance to be in the pit area and probably gather a mob and just take over the seating procedure and might cause problems to the show and might piss off the club staff, promoters etc. u know what i mean...

That's a depressing video. Perhaps access to the balconies will be blocked so people can't jump? Maybe this time people won't act like morons. (Ravers + security + production)

Club Nokia, theres a difference. Nokia theatre is all seats. Club Nokia (which is where this is happening) is GA floor with a balcony that has seats.

This goes onsale at midnight btw. Tickets are $26 - $9.50?

Okay, as of right now tickets are $13.00, and there's no sort of seated differentiation.

Its not $5. I remember they were going for $18 after fees for a while. I was expecting it stay that way for at least a week. Its just a little annoying seeing these jump $12 when Hard usually increases their tickets by $5 increments, and especially so soon after their onsale date.

So something just came to me while I was in the shower thinking about this event and the poster...

http://www.hardfest.com/images/2010/Jan/HARD13front.jpg

HARD + Goldenvoice = HARD + AEG

this opens up an incredible assortment of venues throughout the country to HARD and will likely lead them away from the business model that had them at independently owned venues like the Forum or the Shrine. Hence, if succesfull, HARD13 @ Club Nokia could be the first of many AEG owned venues for HARD that could lead to a better controlled expansion of the brand (Home Depot Center for HARD Summer 2010?)

Anyway...its just a thought and I have nothing to back it up.... but this is the first time ive ever seen them collaborating on anything

EastLos01

01-06-2010, 04:40 AM

I've been to this venue a few times already, and Just a couple of tips. They have the kind of metal detectors that you find at Airports so trying to stash anything metal will set them off. Sorry ladies, stashing anything in you bra won't help this time around. Security there is pretty uptight, but not dicks, but I'm sure if their buttons get pushed they will turn pretty damn quick. They only hand out 250 wristbands for the pit area, and it is first come first serve, so I would suggest getting there ahead of time way before doors open. I wouldn't be worried about anyone pushing anyone off the balcony, but more of someone droppin a cube and thinking they could fly from up there.
If you want to eat around the area, for those that are not from around here, I would not recommend trying to get seating at any of the places in or around L.A. Live. Depending on what else is going on that day, with the staples center, conga room, nokia theater, the bowling place, and the Grammy museum almost no place has walk in service without reservations. I would recommend getting there a lil early and trying the Pantry about a block and a half away. It's pretty meat and potatos high starch menu there so be warned. As for pre-parties, If not at someone's room, there is the Yard House on the premesis, or I would even suggest the bar at the Holiday Inn across the street from L.A. Live. There is also La Bella Cuccina a block from the place that has a full stocked bar. I know the area pretty good so if anyone has questions, seeing as how a few of you are coming in from out of town, please don't hesitate to hit me up.

check out the fb event, seems like a lot of people got tickets:

Clicking "Attending" to an event posted on facebook bears no validity of actual ticket buying.

They did a mix for Mishka in Decemeber.

I also recommend checking out the other Keep Watch mixes from Mishka. Crookers just released one a few days ago that's really good.

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

wrong.

12th Planet, Jack Beats, Busy P and Crystal Castles all played.. Crystal Castles had a shortened set (and was the only act that the majority of people were able to get in time for)

My mistake. I thought Jack were on the main stage for some reason.

modeselektor got the full set, more or less, just were rudely cut off at the end of it..

i still prefer the Jack Beats NYE mix, but that Mishka mix has some REALLY, REALLY interesting mixing in it.. :thu

ELECtROjan

01-10-2010, 08:27 PM

Once again....

Modselektor got their hour.... At 4am concert time (HARD was ignoring DST) the sound guys cut the feed to the speakers but left the monitor speakers on. In response Modeselektor turned their monitor speakers to the crowd and kept playing. 30seconds later the sound guy cut those too and they got kinda pissed and the crowd bood. It was kinda douchey but its their job. Would you wanna pay the fine?

HARD is usually good at keeping on schedule. The only instance I can remember of there being a problem was HARD Summer 2008 when the NERD transition to MSTRKRFT took forever which fucked the Beetroots set....

I've been thinking about what this "two dance areas" means on the Groove website, and at first I assumed it meant there would be two stages.

I'm now thinking it means that it's their way of saying that there will be a separation between the floor and the balcony/seats.

was wishful thinking. Didn't see the Casbah date when I posted that. Why wouldn't she do guest vocals if he's spinning her track though? Live vocals during DJ sets are always a nice bonus. Hot Chip just did it at Control (albeit for their own song...).

Well, I was still wrong about Little Boots being at Hard13 :)

We'll have to agree to disagree on Little Boots singing Stuck on Repeat during a Fake Blood set (still wishful thinking on my part). How is that SO different than a Hot Chip DJ set where they sing on a track? Other than logistically speaking (since she's not the DJ or part of the group DJ'ing). The only difference I see is that Hot Chip has their own vocalist.

HARD and Sasha will both be fun. Be happy that were getting these kinda acts in LA at all... As for the divisions, there shouldn't be any. The reason I posted about it is because people have different priorities, whether it be music, budget, or whatever... either way we will both have an incredible time and will eventually party together. To me the idea of HARD and then cabbing to Avalon for their late night sessions sounds like perfection

01-16-2010, 02:17 PM

He's gonna hit play on his essential mix.

I disagree--He put up the track listings of another 2 hour set he did for Diesel U-Music and it's very different. I think he's going to mix it up....and tear it up. But I know you will all have fun at Sasha, too :)

I have a logistical question: if I get the wrist band for the general dance floor, will I be able to go to the drinking area during say, Destructo and Boy 8-bit's sets, and then be allowed back onto the floor...? (I know there's really no way of knowing right now, just wondering how people think it will work).

Yeah of course. Just like at any other show, they give you wristbands for "pit" so that way you can just show the security when you're trying to get back in. It's first come first serve in that section.

ELECtROjan

01-17-2010, 11:48 PM

the point was to show that he actually mixes the songs and is pretty damn good at it. Unlike EM's from the likes of Crookers and Steve Aoki that are so overproduced that their live shows are a joke compared them, FB can back it up live. And seriously, who the fuck uses Serato w/ 2 Technics and 2CDJ's? Id assume some of the set will be like his EM mixed with some of his new stuff, which im completely fine with

mattpach

01-18-2010, 12:37 AM

I enjoyed his EDC set but he did just press play on the essential mix.

If I was 21 I'd pick Sasha at the Avalon over Fake Blood at HARD 13.

Avalon shows usually go till 2 but they sometimes extend it into what they call "After Dark" which goes way later. We should see if thats an option for the Sasha show when they actually post it on their site
